In the black rain, Su Nian was surrounded by the undead warriors.

His body, depleted of Qi and blood, struggled several times to resist, but was pinned to the ground by the undead warriors around him, and the sharp sickle-shaped weapons chopped Su Nian's body again and again.

During the days in the field of death, Su Nian's body was severely eroded.

The blood god's body did not last long in the fierce siege and collapsed prematurely, and blood poured back into Su Nian's body.

Then a pitch-black sickle-shaped weapon fell suddenly, cutting Su Nian's body in half.

Next came the head, limbs... Su Nian's body was divided in the fierce attack.

After doing all this, the burly figure in the lead dispersed the undead warriors who were still surrounding him, squatted in front of the dead Su Nian and began to check Su Nian's condition.

After checking for a long time, the burly figure couldn't help frowning when he found nothing.

It stood up at this time, looked around, and finally locked onto the shivering Gulu lying at the entrance of the slave prison cave not far away. Then it spoke in a distant voice with a cold look:

"Slave, come and collect the body, remember to drain the blood from his body."

After that, it didn't wait for Gulu to answer, and the burly figure put away the sickle-shaped black weapon, and left with the army of undead warriors without looking back.

Gulu stood up at this time, tremblingly came to the dead Su Nian, and began to work in a hurry.

Holding the remains of Su Nian in his hands, Gulu's tears were covered by the pouring rain.

Back in the slave prison, Gulu began to piece together Su Nian's torn body with trembling hands. At this moment, his heart was extremely confused.

Su Nian was his teacher and his spiritual mentor.

During the days of studying with Su Nian, he had already developed feelings and dependence on Su Nian.

Just like a child's dependence on his parents, the moment he saw Su Nian die in battle, he felt that his world had fallen.

After piecing together Su Nian's body, Guru lay on Su Nian's remains and cried loudly.

The moment he really lost Su Nian, he realized that his inner cowardice had not disappeared, but Su Nian's appearance made him determined to face future challenges.

Now that Su Nian is dead, he found that he seemed to have been drained of his strength in an instant, and he didn't know how to go on in the future.

Coward, waste, slave... Guru punched the ground again and again, constantly scolding himself.

After a long time, Guru ignited the blood and qi flame.

The flame spread along his palm to Su Nian's flesh and blood, and Su Nian's remains burned in the blood-red flame.

The fire reflected the confusion on Guru's face.

After burning Su Nian to ashes, Guru carefully held Su Nian's ashes in his palm, but his eyes became more and more confused.

He found that his courage was completely dependent on Su Nian's birth. Without Su Nian, he was still the useless slave who had accomplished nothing. He couldn't muster the courage to continue to resist and felt extremely confused about the future.

Thinking of his promise to Su Nian, Guru hated himself now.

Waste! Waste! Waste!

Amidst the rebukes, Gulu couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"Teacher, I will succeed, I will."

After putting Su Nian's ashes into the space bracelet buried in the corner, Gulu came to the center of the blood slave prison, sat cross-legged and began to practice the blood and flesh sacrifice.

In the days that followed, Gulu began to accumulate the strength to resist.

But the confusion in his heart never dissipated.

He mustered up the courage countless times, but was eventually defeated by his cowardly self.

Gulu only then realized that the thought stamp in his mind had not been broken at all, and the courage given by Su Nian suppressed the fear in his heart.

Su Nian's death made the cowardice in his heart grow like a demon, eroding his fighting spirit.

After struggling with his thoughts, Gulu thought of Fengqi, the god of faith. Su Nian had told him countless times that Fengqi could give him the power to change himself.

He firmly believed in this.

Every day in the future, Gulu would take time to worship the statue of Fengqi's faith, and then enter the faith space database to find the answer to become stronger.

On this day, Guru was browsing the information in the faith database as usual.

At this time, an article caught his eye.

[Cut the Self (Theoretical Practice)]

Practice founder: Lin Ran.

Practice effect: Cut the old self, shape the new self, I am still me, a different me.

Founder's note: Don't practice, this is just my experimental innovative practice, practicing it may cause big trouble, this practice is even less reliable than spiritual immortality.

Detailed description: ...

...

This is an undeveloped theoretical practice.

The description of the practice says that it can change your personality and let you have the personality you want.

Seeing the description of the practice, Guru was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, ignoring the note that clearly stated that the practice was not perfect.

The important thing is that this is a pure spiritual practice method, even if he is not a human, he can practice it.

In the days that followed, Guru began to practice "Cut the Self" through meditation.

According to the description of the practice, he would imagine a courageous self every day, angrily denouncing his cowardice.

This fictional self became more and more real during meditation practice.

Another fictional spiritual consciousness self is Gollum's most beautiful fantasy about himself.

He is just like what he will look like in the future in Su Nian's eyes, full of courage and fearlessness, daring to resist the unfairness of fate, daring to change himself, and risking his life to move forward.

Time passes.

After a few years, Gollum found that his real self was getting weaker and weaker, while the other secondary personality was becoming more and more real.

Gollum found that he often couldn't tell which one was the real him.

With the growth of another spiritual consciousness, he felt like he was schizophrenic, often talking to himself, as if two selves were talking.

At this time in the blood slave prison.

Gollum muttered to himself with a distorted expression:

"Waste, it's time to practice. Don't waste your time in useless sorrow. Don't forget the teacher's expectations of you."

"I'll practice now."

In the rebuke of the other me, Guru muttered to himself, then sat cross-legged and began to practice the blood and flesh sacrifice technique.

Now the other me is extremely perfect, and Guru found that he was gradually losing control of his body.

But in Guru's eyes, this is the result he wanted.

The cowardice and humility of the current me have been branded in his bones, and the other me is the most perfect me in his eyes.

Continue to practice according to the description of the technique, Guru knows that he will eventually take the last step.

Cut off the self and shape the new self.

At this point, the cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest, and the secondary personality will completely become the master of this body. The current self will be completely cut off and become the nutrient of the new self's consciousness.

The founder Lin Ran developed this technique inspired by the ancient myths of the human race.

A practice mode called beheading the three corpses.

On this basis, Lin Ran developed the idea of ​​developing the technique to shape the new self.

Guru understands that if he does this, the real self will eventually disappear.

But abandoning the slave and cowardly self is exactly the future he wants.

When the new self is successfully shaped, the years of being a slave in his memory will no longer be an indelible pain in his heart, nor will it be a demon that troubles his growth. It will only become a spur and encouragement on the road of growth of the "new self".

Thinking of this, Guru was extremely excited.

He once asked himself, after cutting off the old self, will I still be me?

But after thinking about this question carefully, Guru felt that the answer was not important. What was important was that it was the him that Su Nian expected.

Time passed quickly during the practice.

After a long time, Guru stood up and began to harvest blood.

After completing the task, he gathered all his blood and became skinny, limping out of the slave cave.

After handing the harvested blood to the cave where the master was, Guru crawled at the entrance of the cave where he lived, looking at the tribesmen walking in the city, thinking about his thoughts.

The teacher taught him a lot of things.

Among them is how to become an excellent leader.

Pure force cannot solve many problems, especially when he succeeds in his struggle, he will face the reshaping of the race.

That is a more challenging problem than becoming stronger.

When the teacher was still there, whenever he encountered a problem that he couldn't figure out, he would always ask the teacher, and the teacher would always give him the answer.

But the teacher is gone, and he has to find the answers to many questions by himself.

Fortunately, there is a faith database.

This is a treasure trove in Guru's eyes, which can answer all his doubts.

In the following years, in addition to harvesting flesh and blood and practicing, Guru also learned how to find information for self-study.

The cowardice in his heart has never subsided, but he always keeps in mind the teacher's expectations and is unwilling to give up.

This makes Guru feel extremely disgusted with himself now.

The secondary personality has become more and more solid under his meditation and practice. This is Guru's way of breaking the mental imprint in a different way.

The memory of being a slave is like a cage that binds him tightly.

He thought he had broken free from this mental cage, until he lost his teacher and realized that he just saw a different world through the teacher's eyes and understood many truths.

After losing his teacher, he found himself still in prison, not moving an inch.

So he had to create a new self.

A new self that was born outside the prison.

...

As time went by.

The consciousness of the new self became more and more perfect, and Guru found that he would occasionally lose control of his body.

The new personality was trying to control his body.

Guru did not resist, and looked forward to the further growth of the new self.

At this time, Guru was like a father, expecting his child to fulfill the dream he wanted to achieve but could not reach.

The time that the new self controlled the body gradually increased during the practice.

The new self had all his memories, but his behavior was completely different from his own.

Whenever the new self controlled the body, it would always clearly execute its own goals, either learning or practicing.

His strength also grew rapidly during this period.

The birth of the new self made his practice and learning efficiency twice as efficient. Guru found that the new self was smarter and more efficient than him.

Another half a year passed.

Guru found that the new self had a new idea.

The new self consciousness wanted to change the status quo and achieve a faster practice speed.

He was no longer satisfied with practicing by stealing.

The new self fixed his eyes on the undead warriors wandering outside, regarding them as nutrients for his growth.

The hunt began.

On that day, it was pouring with black rain outside.

Gulu, who was sitting cross-legged in the blood slave cave, opened his eyes.

The new self consciousness took over the control of Gulu's body at this time, stood up and walked out of the blood slave cave.

When he arrived outside the cave.

The black rain soaked Gulu's body. Under the control of the new self consciousness, Gulu looked around and began to look for hunting targets.

His sight finally locked on the patrolling undead warriors in the city who were walking slowly from a distance.

There were five of them in total.

The new self consciousness then swept his eyes not far away and began to observe whether there were other undead warriors nearby.

After confirming that there were no other figures nearby except the five patrolling undead warriors, the murderous intent in the new self consciousness surged.

When the patrolling undead warrior came to him, he couldn't help frowning when he saw Gulu standing at the entrance of the cave:

"Slave, kneel down."

When seeing the upper class, Guru, as a slave of the lower class, needs to crawl and kneel, and cannot look directly at the upper class dead spirits. This is part of the strict class rules of the Shuo Wang Clan.

Facing the scolding, Guru, under the control of the new self consciousness, slowly squatted down.

At this moment, Guru's body surface ignited with blood and qi flames. His squatting and tense body was like a sharp arrow ready to be launched. Suddenly, he shot out and pounced on the leading dead spirit warrior.

His right arm, dyed red by blood and qi, suddenly crossed the neck of the leading dead spirit warrior, and then his left hand pierced into its chest, took out the black dead spirit crystal, and killed it in a flash.

When the other four dead spirit warriors realized that something was wrong and wanted to take action, Guru, under the control of the new self consciousness, attacked again, and struck out with both arms at the same time, pinching the necks of two dead spirit warriors and twisting their necks.

Then he quickly withdrew his hands and struck out again to pierce their chests and pull out the dead spirit crystals, cutting off the vitality in their bodies.

The other two dead warriors immediately realized that they were no match for Gulu.

They turned around and tried to escape.

Gulu, who was under the control of the new self, raised his right hand at this time, and the light of faith appeared between his eyebrows. The innate ability "Ghost Chain" was poured into his body at this time, condensing into an illusory innate bead in his body. Then an energy blue chain appeared in the palm of Gulu's hand and wrapped around his arm.

He grabbed forward with his right arm, and the chain automatically swept forward. As it moved forward, it split into two ghost chains and wrapped around the waists of the fleeing dead warriors, pulling them back.

The arms, ready to go, struck out again.

Snap! Snap!

The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, and the necks of the two dead warriors were twisted at the same time. Then Gulu took out the death crystals in their bodies.

After doing all this, Gulu dragged the five dead warriors and threw them into the blood slave cave, then returned to the surface to clean up the traces of the battle.

In the black rain, Guru performed the blood and flesh sacrifice technique, absorbing the dead blood remaining on the ground into his body.

After making sure there were no traces, Guru turned back to the blood slave cave and began to refine five dead warriors, destroying the corpses and erasing the traces.

...

In the days to come.

Whenever the black rain poured, the new self consciousness would start a bloody hunt.

The new self's will was extremely firm, completely different from the current Guru.

Guru clearly remembered that the target of his first hunt was the successor of his master. Before the hunt began, he struggled in his heart. He was obviously capable of killing the successor easily, but he still felt extremely scared.

After mustering up courage several times, he gritted his teeth and completed the hunt. After

the hunt was completed, he was hesitant in his heart, and he endured the discomfort to complete the refining process and absorb the successor's dead core.

But the new self consciousness is different.

The hunting of the new self consciousness is like an art, dormant, waiting, and then killing with one blow.

The new self after killing the prey will not have any fear, which makes Guru understand that this is the new personality he expects.

Only such a self can be capable of fulfilling the teacher's expectations.

In terms of the use of abilities, the new me has an understanding that he cannot match.

When hunting, the switching of innate abilities is very smooth, as if he is a natural shadow killer. Once he has an idea, he will execute it without any hesitation.

By hunting the upper-class undead, Guru's growth rate has been greatly improved.

During this period, Guru did not forget the other five disciples of his teacher.

The teacher died, and they regarded him as a spiritual leader. As long as he did not fall, they would not fall.

The new self consciousness began to teach the other five companions, teaching them how to make themselves stronger through hunting.

Time flies.

The new self consciousness occupied the body for longer and longer, and became more and more skilled. Guru's main personality gradually became a bystander.

But Guru knew that this was not the end of the practice of "Self-Slaying".

His existence could not allow the new self consciousness to exert its true power.

The two personalities restrained each other, and the new self consciousness occasionally had inexplicable problems when controlling the body.

Whenever the new self hunted, the fear born in his mind would affect the new self's execution efficiency.

It was like running with a boulder, and every step forward would be resisted by the boulder.

This made Guru understand that it was time for him to take the final step of "Cut the Self".

He was now a burden and should not continue to exist.

On this day, Guru did not release the new self consciousness.

After completing the master's task, he returned to the blood slave cave. He

took out the jar containing Su Nian's ashes from the space bracelet, knelt on the ground and kept bowing.

The moment he lost his teacher, he realized what the teacher meant to him.

The experience of getting along with the teacher was treasured in the deepest part of his memory, and it was the happiest time in his heart.

Every time he recalled it in his dreams, he would smile unconsciously.

At that time, he was an ignorant slave, and the unexpected encounter opened the door to his growth.

Every time he thought of his teacher, the past scenes would emerge in Guru's mind.

At that time, it was pouring black rain outside, and the sound of rain came into the cave. He sat on the ground and listened to the teacher's teachings.

In the story, there is the struggle of the human leader Feng Qi who is unwilling to succumb to the established fate, the heroic spirit of the god of war Ye Huangmian who turned the tide in the desperate years of the invasion of the domain, Wei Wei who hides in the underground world day and night to extend the life of the human race, and Mu Qing, Lu Yue, Zhang Daowen, and so on.

Whenever talking about the stories of human heroes, the teacher's eyes always flash with light, that is the light of faith.

These characters make Guru feel excited and understand what a hero is.

They are like a flag, leading future generations to move forward firmly.

This is what the teacher said, after the fire of faith is ignited, the inheritance relay of the indelible will of dawn will be passed

on. The fire of faith that belongs to Su Nian has now been handed over to him.

Memories are a knife, and Guru's eyes are tearful at this moment.

"Teacher, I miss you."

Guru's voice and smile appeared in his mind, and his eyes became more determined.

"Another me, you will inherit the teacher's fire of faith from now on. I look forward to your future performance. Don't let me down, and don't let the teacher down."

After the voice fell, Guru opened his hands, then bowed his head and knocked heavily on Su Nian's urn.

The big knife at the consciousness level also slashed at this time, cutting through the sea of ​​consciousness, and completely shattering Guru's main personality consciousness.

The consciousness of the new self emerged at this time, swallowing up Guru's consciousness fragments and merging with the flesh.

When Guru opened his eyes again.

The cowardice in his eyes dissipated, and the shackles of Guru's thoughts that bound him were completely shattered at this moment, and the brand new Guru was reborn from the ashes.

"I will."

Guru murmured softly, as if responding to the expectations before the main personality dissipated, and then kowtowed to Su Nian's urn again.
